  <dc:title>Letter, from Sir John Herschel to Mary Somerville</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Autograph letter signed by sender. 1852 was eventful for the Herschels and John Frederick William Herschel. 1853 has started peacefully. John Frederick William Herschel does "nothing whatever of a scientific kind. And the world does not therefore stand still". Comments on the discussion around "turning tables" [in Spiritualism], finds it ridiculous.</dc:description>
